"Don't you think the kidnapped man looks a lot like Liao Shao, the son of the Liao family?"
"Yes, it is a bit similar, but it shouldn't be Liao Shao. He looks so embarrassed."
"If you were caught and kidnapped by him, you would be in such a mess."
"Oh my god, according to what you said, is it really Young Master Liao? Did Chen Xuan come to the city just to kidnap Young Master Liao?"
"It's not impossible. After all, he has already kidnapped Young Master Zhang Tianci and Young Master Qin Hao."
"This guy is a human trafficker!"
"Quick, quick, report this to the governor!
…
"What? My son was kidnapped?"
Liao Mansion.
Liao Qing was sipping his tea at first, but after hearing the report from his servant, he stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, and he was furious. "Who did it?"
"Go back to the master's words, it's Chen Xuan!"
The servant immediately answered respectfully, and perhaps because he was too scared, his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Chen Xuan? Is this the Chen Xuan who kidnapped Zhang Tianci and the others?"
Liao Qing suddenly had a strong bad feeling in his heart.
"Yes, that's him!"
"Master, he wants our Liao family to pay 10,000 dan of rice to redeem the young master!"
When he heard this number, Liao Qing's mouth twitched violently.
Ten thousand stones?
According to the current rice price in Mancheng which is four times higher than that in the present day, that would be 40,000 taels of silver.
And because of the food shortage, Liao Qing planned to raise the price of rice to five taels of silver per stone of rice.
In other words, in Barbarian City, rice is definitely becoming more and more valuable.
Chen Xuan directly asked for rice instead of money, which was simply heartbreaking!
"You bastard, you are going too far. How can I get him 10,000 dan of rice? This is impossible! I'm going to find the governor!"
Without any hesitation, Liao Qing immediately asked someone to prepare a sedan chair.
At the same time, the Chen family.
"Did Chen Xuan capture Liao Jun?"
Chen Kun looked at his son Chen Qing in surprise.
After being scared away by Chen Xuan, Chen Qing came back in a hurry in shame. As soon as he came back, he immediately reported the matter to his father.
"He also wants 10,000 dan of rice. What a huge ask!"
After understanding the situation, Chen Kun sneered, "Liao Qing is a stingy guy. He is not as generous as Qin Baiye and I. We can spend all our wealth for our son, but for Liao Qing, asking him for even a tael of silver is like cutting his flesh."
"Now that the price of rice has been raised so high with great difficulty, it is time to reap the money from the people. Chen Xuan wants 10,000 dan of rice from him. Isn't this asking for his life? Haha, with this old guy's stinginess, there is no way he can give it to him!"
"But if he doesn't give it to him, his son's life will be in jeopardy. Judging from Chen Xuan's ruthlessness, he is really capable of killing someone!"
"Liao Jun is unlucky to fall into his hands!
At this point, the expression on Chen Kun's face became playful.
Anyway, the person kidnapped was not his son, so he could just be a spectator and watch the fun. Naturally, he hoped that things would become as exciting as possible.
The next moment, he said to Chen Qing: "You did a great job in this matter. Don't get entangled with people like Chen Xuan and don't give him the opportunity to catch you. If you see him next time, take a detour."
"Haha, I am now interested in this matter. How will this stingy old man Liao save his son? He can't really watch his son die, right?"
at the same time.
Qin family.
"Luckily you ran fast, or I would have to spend money to redeem you again!"
"From now on, you're grounded!"
Hearing this, Qin Hao was dumbfounded, "Father, why do you restrict my feet?"
"Why? Aren't you afraid that you'll run into that unlucky guy Chen Xuan while you're walking around the city? You better stay quiet for the time being. You're not allowed to step out of the Qin Mansion until Chen Xuan is killed!"
The prefectural government.
"Asshole, that damn old bastard Li Tiebing, I asked him to make weapons time and again, but he found all kinds of excuses to refuse. Now when Chen Xuan asked him to make weapons, he actually agreed directly. He deserves to be damned!"
Zhang Tao slammed the table with his palm, furious.
His son Zhang Tianci stood in front of him and told him what he knew.
Zhang Tao was not particularly concerned about Liao Jun being kidnapped by Chen Xuan. After all, the person kidnapped this time was not his son.
However, Zhang Tao was very angry that the old man Li Tiebing actually helped Chen Xuan to forge weapons.
After all, he had asked the old man to come out and forge some weapons many times, and the old man used all kinds of excuses to refuse, but he agreed without hesitation to Chen Xuan.
What is this called?
Comparing him with Chen Xuan, he, the prefect, seems like a joke.
People treat what you, the prefect, say as bullshit!
"Sir Governor, the Liao family leader is outside the door asking to see you!"
At this time, the butler hurried in and said to Zhang Tao.
Zhang Tao was very angry at the moment. When he heard Liao Qing asking for a meeting, he couldn't help but frown.
"Father, he must be here for his son Liao Jun."
Zhang Tianci said quickly.
Zhang Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, paused, and said in a deep voice: "No, tell Liao Qing that I went to Hucheng to see the Hucheng governor!"
There are thousands of reasons to want to see someone, but there is only one reason not to see someone: just say you are not at home.
"Yes!" The butler nodded in agreement.
Soon, at the door.
"What? The governor is not at home?"
Liao Qing was surprised. "Why is the governor not at home? When did he go to Hucheng? Butler, are you lying to me?"
The butler immediately showed dissatisfaction and said coldly: "The governor of Hucheng and my governor are close friends. Isn't it normal for the governor to meet him? What's the matter? Does the governor have to report to you when he goes out?"
Hearing the unhappiness in the butler's voice, Liao Qing quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, butler, that's not what I meant."
"Okay, if you want to see the governor, come back in a few days!"
The butler didn't even give him a chance to say anything. He just turned around and went back into the mansion. He didn't even let Liao Qing in to have a sip of tea and turned him away.
"hateful!"
Liao Qing was so angry that he wanted to find the prefect to seek justice, but in the end he couldn't even see him.
Went to Tiger City?
It's a lie to fool fools!
None of the soldiers in Man City moved, and Hu City was dozens of miles away from Man City. In today's chaotic world, if the governor went on a long journey without one or two thousand soldiers, could he guarantee his own safety?
He gritted his teeth and turned to go to Chen's house.
"What? Your Chen family's Patriarch isn't home either?"
Liao Qing was turned away again because the servants of the Chen Mansion told him that the master of the house was not at home.
As for where he went, how could a servant know so much?
